I’m not holding my breath that this group will find anything inherently wrong with the ACORN culture. In fact, I’m pretty sure this group won’t find anything wrong with tax evasion, prostitution, and illegal aliens at all.

In a press release, ACORN CEO Bertha Lewis says, that as “a result of the indefensible action of a handful of our employees,” the group will immediately stop accepting anyone into ACORN office for service programs, will conduct in-service training of staff, and begin an audit “to review all of the systems and processes called into question by the videos,” to be conducted by the group’s Independent Advisory Council.

The Council includes many prominent Democrats, including the man who helped President Obama Transition Team, John Podesta, President and CEO of the Center for American Progress; former Maryland Lt. Gov. Kathleen Kennedy Townsend; Andrew Stern, International President of the Service Employees International Union; and former Housing and Urban Development Secretary Henry Cisneros.

Andrew Stern? Of the SEIU? The thug union that beat up Kenneth Gladney for selling flags outside a health care town hall? The Center for American Progress? The think tank subsidized by lefty activist and financier George Soros? A member of the Kennedy family? It reads like the speaking line-up for the Democratic National Convention.

Now, granted, no one expects ACORN to call in Rush Limbaugh or Sarah Palin to conduct the audit. But how about some non-partisans? Some professional auditors? Or at least people who aren’t completely and entirely lefty hacks?

We already know what they’re going to “find”: It was a few rogue employees who violated the “professional” standards at ACORN and have nothing to do with the organization at large. The left-wing media, including CNN and MSNBC, will proceed to quote the “audit” as if its the word of God. Happy fun time.
